That’s just a ranking of subpage hits per day. Not only is that easily gamed, it also says very little about how popular an OS really is.

This is a slight aside, but CachyOS is a great example of the failure of Wikipedia politics.

The "CachyOS" page was deleted[1], and replaced with a redirect to the Arch Linux page. But CachyOS is not mentioned anywhere on that page, nor on the "List of Linux distributions § Arch Linux-based" page.

I love Arch Linux, but please...

(Arch Linux is already "fast" (depends on what you install for your DE, if any) and customizable.)
